Cutler Park (Oriole nest)



Cutler Park (Oriole nest), originally uploaded by oehlkers.
A steamy day, good for walking in the woods. I chose Cutler and I wasn't disappointed. Some Orioles have built a nest right above the trail. Oriole babies are well known for their vigorous complaining and these are no exception. The poor mother bird was unhappy that I was standing there looking at it. (With all the traffic on that trail I imagine she's rather stressed out). I captured a bit of their chirping (and her clucking).
A good day all round. The hermit wood thrush was singing, as was an Eastern Wood Pewee (which I also managed to record) and a variety of very loud warblers.
